Default How to make a 328i 280-330hp

Just follow this clown's maths. Sorted.


m50 throttle body which adds about 20bhp
25 inlet manifolds which adds about 20 bhp
m3 evo exhaust manifolds which adds 30 bhp
m3 stainless steel exhaust with decat section which adds about 20bhp
ews removed and remapped and recoded ecu done after all parts were on the car which adds 30 bhp and 60 bars of tork (WTF!!) alpine software
k&n panel air filter and air box restrictor removed whichs adds 10 bhp on
all done by garage avers racers


so as you can see its a very fast car around 280-330 bhp in total from the engine

I know a lot of the S50 bits bolt on pretty easy but unsure on his power figures though

Much the same as the youngsters on here except there figure always add up 500bhp.
Its what lads with no cash or sense do so just leave them alone, down the pub it makes them important telling mongs of similar ilk.

I'm more impressed the fact is has a transfer box? Might show the missus, she's always wanted a BMW 4x4

And I'm glad he has painted the LSD red, will make it corner faster

i asked that if it didn't make the minimum power claimed on a DD rolling road then i'd be wanting a full refund including any costs incurred, he said that would be fine as he knows it will make that power
what a tit, you know someone will end up buying it and feel mega pissed off when it struggles to reach 230bhp (231bhp for a standard 330), let alone the possible 330bhp. big difference between 280 and 330 bhp, never seen a guestimate so massive in percentage terms.

No red is speed, green is reliability

First mistake he made was getting rid of the bullet proof pig iron block to put in a second hand M52 motor.
Been better off turboing the 2.5.
Or putting the later m3 lump in as suggested above.
